[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7532122, member: 4348"] I think the very first thing they would have had to do was change how the proficiency bonus works. Players would have been MUCH MORE resistant to the entire bounded accuracy idea if Fighters could not hit a LOT BETTER than other classes...meaning they would have to have Fighters have a much better Proficiency bonus advancement with weapons than they do with 5e currently. They would have had to simplify (I know people think 5e is simplified, but compared to how easy it was to make most characters for pre-2000 AD&D/D&D it is STILL complex) character creation. I'd say they probably would have needed to have one base race selection for each race (more similar to what you find in the Basic 5e rules) and killed the backgrounds idea. They could have allowed each character to select two more skills to recompense that loss. I think character abilities would have had to be streamlined (more like what they have with the 5e SRD) and that the abilities would have needed to be started at 1st level. In this I think it would have looked slightly different, but other than that I think they could have kept it largely the same. [/QUOTE]
